Okay, I've finally decided that I will GM Shadowrun at the San Diego Comic
Con. Not many of you actually care, I know.

But I've never GMed at a convention or anything. I can GM acceptably well
(while I occassionaly forget rules here and there, my players love my
playacting of the NPCs, especially Johnny Rotten the fixer), but that's
almost always been a group of friends or mostly friends.

So does anyone have any advice? Any web pages that give pointers to this
sort of thing (like maybe GenCon's page)? Anybody actually out there GMed
for a tournament or convention?

I imagine I probably should have enough pre-generated PCs for everyone, in
a mix that's appropriate. And a pile of dice. All the sourcebooks I'll
need. Caffiene. Several writing utensils and note paper. My GM screen
since I have one (I think it's actually a SR1 screen too, but I haven't
used it in a while; I keep forgetting it and it's not terribly important
anyway; I don't use much written material anyway). Can anyone think of
anything else?

Thanks all.

Erik J.
